We don't usually 'see' sounds. What's going on? Rashi says, 'They saw which was audible, which isn't possible under any other circumstances.' Okay, it's a miracle. Even though there a number of more rational authorities who go with some plausible linguistic explanations (for example: the word for sight can include all the senses), let's stick with the extraordinary approach. But why the need for supernatural apprehension of the information at Sinai? The Sfat Emet (second Gerer Rebbe, ) initially suggests clarity.
